  • The Dissolving Corporation
    THE DISSOLVING CORPORATION Contemporary Architecture and Corporate Identity in Finland Peter MacKeith www.eva.fi EVA´s homepage contains reports, articles and other material in Finnish and in English. Publisher: Taloustieto Oy Cover: Antti Eklund Printing: Yliopistopaino 2005 ISBN 951-628-424-8 PREFACE In the past few years, the Finnish Business and Policy Forum EVA has treated the issues of creativity and business-culture interaction with growing interest. This report is an extension of the June, 2004 EVA conference on “Creativity through Competitiveness” and is published in co-operation with the Creative Finland Association. Entertaining a subject quite different from past EVA report themes, this essay offers one perspective on the state of Finnish corporate architecture within the more general context of corporate management practices and ar- chitectural innovations. In this report, Professor Peter MacKeith argues that in the contempora- ry moment of global, open-market economies, Finnish architecture is at a critical juncture. This condition is reflected precisely in recent headquarters architecture produced by Finnish corporations. Whereas a hundred years ago corporate headquarters were central elements of the surrounding cultural and urban environment, expressing values of the emerging national consciousness, today’s Finnish corporate headquar- ters have adopted a style of neutrality and anonymity, and situated themselves outside of the public realm. Professor MacKeith calls for a corporate architecture that takes into account issues of sustainable de- velopment and the corporation’s relationship to the society, culture and civic realm in which it is physically situated. Along with the desired image and values communicated by a building’s form to the outside world, corporate office planning has also adopted new objectives.

    CAMBRIDGE CITY WIDE MASTER PLAN June 25, 2015 | File Number: 6848 HARMONIOUS CACOPHONY, THE IDEA OF CELEBRATING DIVERGENCE TO SEEK UNITY, INFUSES ITSELF THROUGH THE FOLLOWING PAGES AND INSPIRES OUR APPROACH TO THIS EFFORT FOR CAMBRIDGE. Amy L. Witts Purchasing Agent City of Cambridge Purchasing Department 795 Massachusetts Avenue, Third Floor Cambridge, Massachusetts 02139 Dear Ms. Witts, Thank you for the opportunity to submit this response to the Cambridge City Wide Planning Request for Qualifications. This letter describes the Sasaki team composition, the reasons we are interested in the Cambridge Citywide master plan and why we believe our team brings the ideal balance of creativity and practicality to the effort. As leaders in Sasaki’s Urban Studio, our practice is characterized by an interdisciplinary collaborative of innovative minds, all focused on improving the quality of life in American urban centers. The core tenets of our work are partnerships with our clients toward shared outcomes, meaningful and memorable community outreach, data-driven analysis, well-defined implementation strategies, and transformation through visionary planning and design. We believe that America’s urban centers are critical to long- term environmental, economic and social sustainability. Cambridge is undeniably an incredibly special community, and already a model of what many cities around the globe strive to achieve. Yet, cities cannot be content amid today’s successes; evolution is necessary for long term sustainability. Today, challenges for Cambridge exist, particularly around equity, resilience, transportation systems, and community health, among other issues. We believe this plan is an opportunity to integrate the many future-looking efforts already underway, build consensus, and create an inspired vision for the next decades.
